"We picked Cytech from a listed of recommended AC contractors on Angie's List.  They did have to competitively bid against another contractor. <br> <br>We worked with CyTech (Leo Cantu) for a couple of weeks hammering out the scope and details for the ac replacement.  They were extremely professional and easy to work with, given the fact that we were developing the proposal remotely (me in  the New Orleans area and CyTech in Edinburg Texas).  They answered all our questions and went the extra step to ensure that we could use the updated electrical system by having the owner personally come to our house and  look at the configuration. They even recommended a LOWER tonnage AC unit after their visit, saving us hundreds of dollars from the previous estimate. <br> <br>The job itself started on Monday and the crew  performed very well all the while being courteous to my mother.  The crew worked into the evening of the second day to ensure that a minimally operational AC unit was available  to provide  cooled, dehumidified air,  delivered through a few selected vents including the bedrooms.   That was real commitment by CyTech to ensure they wouldn't have to go through another hot humid night.   They completed the balance of the work, including a new duct system by late Wednesday afternoon. <br> <br>We did have a bit of a concern when looking at the outside condensing unit, based on the dimensions we measured.  I was sure that we did not have the correct unit.   The system was shorter that we had thought, and was definitely shorter than listed in the Lennox literature on the Lennox webpage.   <br> <br>After Leo followed up, consulting with the owner, we were told that they had installed the latest Lennox unit. The reduced height was the result of incorporating a two deep evaporator coil system, maintaining the radiating surface area, but lowering the height f the unit.    My sister went outside and spoke with the crew. They showed her the new design; I felt much better after that confirmation. <br> <br>The unit has been operating for just three days, but it has been fantastic.  I especially love the Wi-Fi thermostat that was installed with the unit.  I can see, from here in the New Orleans area, the current status of the unit, the temperature and indoor humidity.  We can change the setpoints from our iPhones!!!...how much fun is that. <br> <br>I have asked them to proceed to add blown in insulation to the attic documented in a separate proposal.  That work will be done after some minor repairs (shingle replacements) are completed on my mother's house roof. <br> <br>Five stars rating to CyTech.   <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br>"

"Very professional. Took as much time as needed to answer questions. Very good attention to detail. Even though a few more rods were needed than originally quoted, they stuck to their original quote price. No surprises. I would highly recommend this company."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Harlingen, TX

There is often some confusion about the type of work these professionals do. They only work on electrical systems such as outlets, lighting fixtures and electrical panels – they aren’t appliance repairmen.

There are three types of electricians: Master, Journeyman and Apprentice. Electrical licensing varies quite a bit by state. Some have licenses for apprentices and some do not. Some have a master’s rank while others stop at journeyman. Despite the differences, they all require a minimum amount of experience and usually classroom time.

  • Apprentice electricians aren’t usually licensed and spend 4 years learning the trade. Throughout that time, they work on a wide range of projects to learn to become a Journeyman. They’ll do basic work like installing fixtures and replacing outlets all the way to assisting in wiring a home. Regardless of the type of project, they must always be supervised by a Journeyman or Master electrician.

  • Journeymen work without supervision. In a few states, this is the highest level available and they can do all levels of work from wiring a new home to installing a light. In some states, they need a separate electrical contractor license to run a business. In places with a master’s level, a journeyman can do all work besides design new electrical systems.

  • Master electricians usually manage a shop, design new electrical systems in new construction and oversee both Journeyman and Apprentices. They typically bid new projects. Though they focus on larger projects, it’s not unheard of for a homeowner to request a Master Electrician for a house call. If you do, expect to spend up to 25% more for the visit.

Generally, you don’t tip electricians, but that’s not to say they don’t appreciate it if you do. You can offer them something to drink or eat, like coffee and donuts. Most will appreciate it if you do.

The education and certifications required to become an electrician vary by state, though they generally follow this list:

  1. Apprentice

    • Does not always require a license depending on the state.

    • Learns on the job under Journeyman and Master Electricians.

    • Usually needs 4 years on-the-job training before they can test for a Journeyman license. Many states also require a technical degree to advance.

    • Always require supervision.

  2. Journeyman

    • Needs between 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training and usually 500 to 1,000 hours of classroom experience.

    • Can usually supervise apprentices.

    • They can diagnose and repair electrical problems.

  3. Master

    • Achieved after an additional two years (4,000 hours) working as a Journeyman and taking the Master Electrician Exam.

    • Besides diagnosing and repairing electrical systems, they also design them. In most places they run shops and inspect Journeyman and Apprentice work.

    • Not a recognized rank in all states.

  4. Electrical Contractor License is an optional license in some states for a Master Electrician to run a business. Some states have this instead of the Master license.

Electricians make an average of $26 per hour but it ranges with experience and licensing. An apprentice may make about half that while a Master Electrician may hit closer to $40 per hour. This figure represents how much they make; not how much they bill. Their salary is only one component of their costs. They must also figure in overhead, taxes, equipment, insurance and several other expenses.

Leave electrical work to the professionals. Electrical systems are complex and potentially hazardous when not handled and installed correctly. If it were easy, it wouldn’t take 4 years to become a journeyman or 6 years for a master’s license. If you are determined to forge ahead yourself, understand home electrical safety before beginning any project.Even for simple common electrical projects, a licensed pro is best. Not only is it safer, but contractors guarantee and insure their work. Hire a professional to keep your home’s electrical systems functioning properly and safely.
